I know some of you may use Sam's Club and Costco. Costco is about 15 miles and 20+ minutes farther away in heavy traffic from me than Sams club, so I use Sam's Club the most. Used to be members of both, but don't buy enough to justify both.
Anyway, with the coronavirus panic buying going on, I dreaded going to Sams Club today to get some meds that I needed . This Morning, I noticed I had a Sam's Club app on my phone that I could not even remember ever getting. I opened it on my iPhone, it asked for my password (which I had to look up on my computer). Then noticed something called "Scan & Go" so I looked it up on my computer (needed a bigger screen), and it seemed to be viable. I also noticed that it already had my information in from some tire purchases a few months ago. Actually the app was accessing my account that I originally set up on my computer.
I went to Sam's Club - it was a mad house. I could not get down the main isles for lines of people lined up trying to check out. Most of what I wanted was at the back of the store and the meds were up front on the far side - nearly impossible to get to from the entrance. So I went around the isle down the wall to the back, across the back and back up front along the other side wall. 9 items. Scanned them, paid for them on my phone, walked up the exit isle and to the door checker; they scanned my phone app bar-code and I walked out. Checkout was in seconds. Everyone else in line had at least 30 minute wait.
I enjoy doing things on my computer and consider my phone screen too small to do decent work, but today, I became a smart phone convert! Wow, that was easy and fast. NO LINES to have to wait in - in a panic buying place.
